Dear Mary Anne,
Guess what. You don't have a problem after all!
Bookshare doesn't require an ISBN if you've searched in good faith and can't
find one. If you can't find an ISBN, though, Bookshare asks that you include
a long synopsis which can be up to 2,000 characters long, but can be any
length under that you like as long as it's longer than a short synopsis.
If you haven't written a long synopsis yet, just write a summary of what the
book is about and run a spell check. I write mine before I submit a book.
Then when I'm filling out the form I copy the synopsis I've written in a
word document and paste it in the long synopsis field on the form.
Here's a little advice I was given and use. I make a document for any book
I'm scanning or validating.
It contains all of the information I'll need when I fill out the form,
title, author, copyright date and holder, short and long synopsis ISBN
number if there is one and comments if they are needed. Then when I submit
or upload, I just copy and paste everything I need in the boxes. It makes
filling out the form easy since the work is done in advance. I keep those
documents in a file I call Synopses, one of those just in case behaviors in
case questions come up. Has a question ever come up? Nope!
Hope this helps.
Always with love,
Lissi

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] About ISBN
Hi everybody. I will soon be submitting a book for validation. It was
copyright 1949 and does not have an ISBN number. Does anyone know if that
could be the case or should I look somewhere for an ISBN? It seems like I
always have these strange problems with books! Thanks for your help.
